Mr S. forwarded Ms T.’s e-mail sent at 3.06 p.m. on 31 August 2007, enclosing the signed Power of Attorney B. and Power of Attorney W., to his secretary, Ms L., at 8.57 a.m. on 3 September 2007 (see pages 1183 – 1195 of AC 1). It is clear from the attachments to this e-mail that the additional handwritten provision (ii) which allowed Mr S. to sign ‘any other documents ancillary to said sale’ did not appear in the Power of Attorney B. and Power of Attorney W. attached to that e-mail.
I was informed that on 30 October 2009, A. P. of A. Limited (‘A.’) wrote to the late E. M. (whom I appointed to assist me in attempting to recover the sums due to me in relation to the Settlement) (see page 1196 of AC 1) enclosing a letter which T. & F. had sent to him on the same day (see pages 1197 – 1199 of AC 1). A. is composed of accounting experts who have worked with me and my companies for many years.
T. & F.’s letter of 30 October 2009 to Mr P. laid the foundation on which T. & F. asked who had made the changes to the manuscript to Prosecutor B. and Prosecutor W. The letter states the following:
‘1) On or about 21 August 2007, Mr. K. S. called our offices to inform us that the contract for the purchase and sale of the shares would be signed by the Directors of the 2 companies holding the shares, W. LLC and B. H. LLC; the request that the Directors sign these contracts was inconsistent with an earlier request that a Power of Attorney be issued in the name of K. S. for the same purpose. 2) On 31 August 2007 and following an exchange of emails with our office, K. S. requested that a Power of Attorney be issued in his favour by the Directors of B. H. LLC and W. LLC. 3) On the same day, these Powers of Attorney were signed and sent to the attention of Mr. K. S. 4) We note that from the copy of the Power of Attorney attached to the fax sent to us on 24.10.2009, we note that what appears to be an unauthorised pencilled alteration was made that was also initialled by an unknown party. We hereby confirm that the document sent to us, referred to in number 3 above, did not contain such an amendment. For your reference, I enclose copies of the two Powers of Attorney that were sent to Mr S.’
That said, having now seen further documents disclosed by M., I understood that I was not the only shareholder who did not get what Mr. S. assured we would receive from the Transaction. By way of illustration, in an email sent by Mr S. at 3.08pm on 30 June 2008 (see pages 1237 & 1238 of AC 1) to D. [O.] at QPR, it is clear that several agreements were not honoured in relation to the sale of Mr S. and Mr G.’s shares at QPRH and that proxy votes appeared to be used in circumstances where the specific conditions for their use had not been met. I was not surprised to find that this was the case, as I did not receive the sums that had been promised to me in connection with the Transaction.
A complaint about this matter has been lodged with Scotland Yard.
